Question

1. which point is in quadrant ii? a) (4, 3) b) (-5, 2) c) (-3, -2) d) (0, 4)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In the Cartesian - coordinate system, in Quadrant II, the x - coordinate is negative and the y - coordinate is positive.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: For the point $(4,3)$, $x = 4>0$ and $y = 3>0$, so it is in Quadrant I.
• Option B: For the point $(-5,2)$, $x=-5 < 0$ and $y = 2>0$, so it is in Quadrant II.
• Option C: For the point $(-3,-2)$, $x=-3 < 0$ and $y=-2 < 0$, so it is in Quadrant III.
• Option D: For the point $(0,4)$, $x = 0$ and $y = 4>0$, so it lies on the y - axis.

Answer:

B. (-5, 2)
